These are some long term ideas- they are things are needed IMO to provide more
buying interest to bitassets like USD. It would be cool if this was the first
big security- that plans on developing all of these things. 
No so long term imho
- Payment gateway to quickly convert all bitassets to into Bitcoins. Then
bitassets would have all the utility of Bitcoins.. Ie. The Bitcoin
infrastructure.. Services, Stores, Etc... Preferably multi signature setup.
I've seen plenty of recent talks about ripple gateways and also a bitGLD gateway.
There've also been talk about a 'vending' machine (cant recall correctly .. sth. similar to vennd.io
- A payment processor or get added to current one. Create ways to spend and receive bitassets.
Once the market(s) stabalize and more money flows into bitUSD and other bitFIAT
version, they will probably see the power of it (+10secs confirmation time ..
that has to convince them)
- Create a hot wallet with client side private keys. Creat an easy way to store them.
Not sure what you mean by that, but BM already has plans about multi-sig that
works as easy as darkwallet with bitcoin. I remember a recent dev hangout where
he described the plans. I am sure once all those bugs are fixed they can get
back to coding more and more awesome features into the toolkit.
- A lightweight client like electrum where users don't have to download the
Blockchain. Create a convenient way to store them.
That's also already been discussed and addressed by BM. But AFAIR this does not
have a high priority currently. Although it would greatly simplify their
'webwallet' implementation of the wallet (think of this as a HTML5 version of
the software that works fully in javascript and thus can work on your mobile phone)
Yes I hope these are not long term goals, because I think they are needed for bitassets to reach parity without too many market restrictions. I think we need to keep it as free a market as possible.
Re: vennd. Something like vennd would be ideal, as bitassets exist you need to convert them to do anything useful with them. The ability of having a service to do this for you automatically makes it a lot easier to spend bitassets, so there is more of a reason to keep your $$ in them. It is hard for alternative coins to get adopted by mainstream companies.. They all seem to go with Bitcoin as far as payment processing. This would allow bitassets to gain business (transaction fees) from this added ecommerce activity and thus make the company more profitable, at the same time it will increase the demand for bitassets.
Re: payment processors/exchanges. There are some multi coin processors that have voting for which cryptos they add. Coinpayments.net for example. We can gather as a community and get enough votes or donations to get supported by them. This may be the quickest way to get a payment processor on board, we just need to get organized. Same goes with getting added to more exchanges would be a good thing as well... Some rather large exchanges have votes and donations to determine what to add.
Re: hot wallet/electrum. I was referring to something like a Blockchain.info wallet when I said hot wallet. Something very convenient as there is no download necessary and no syncing or downloading of the Blockchain. Then, separately something like Electrum that is a program instead of a website, which pretty much does the same thing. In both cases private keys are stored and kept client side. Deterministic public and private keys (like Bitshares) would be a nicer feature too compared to older cryptocurrencys and wallets.
Then maybe more people will buy bitassets, it's a win/win for Btsx
*confirmed* :-)
I'm glad some other people realize this. We need to get organized as a community to get exchange and payment processor adoption. I am going to do a bit of research as to which exchanges and payment processors that allow voting and donations to get added and start some sort of community goals in those regards. There's a thread Re: bitassets low hanging fruit... This is some as all it will take in some cases will be the Bitshares community to go to a website and place votes! An easy way to add utility and liquidity IMO.
